“Transitions are bumpy, even the happy ones. We all go through them at some point. It takes time to adjust. Often, we feel like we should be much farther ahead than we are—unless we remember that “bare kernels” are always sown in weakness. It’s not bad to have your identity change. God promises that if we trust Him, He will replant us to reap eternal rewards.”
Carolyn McCulley, The Measure of Success: Uncovering the Biblical Perspective on Women, Work, and the Home

Paul E. Miller
“All of Jesus’ teaching on prayer in the Gospels can be summarized with one word: ask.”
Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life: Connecting with God in a Distracting World

Wallace Stegner
“Youth hasn’t got anything to do with chronological age. It’s times of hope and happiness.”
Wallace Stegner, Crossing to Safety

Donna Tartt
“And, in this staunch little portrait, it’s hard not to see the human in the finch. Dignified, vulnerable. One prisoner looking at another. But who knows what Fabritius intended? There’s not enough of his work left to even make a guess. The bird looks out at us. It’s not idealized or humanized. It’s very much a bird. Watchful, resigned. There’s no moral or story. There’s no resolution. There’s only a double abyss: between painter and imprisoned bird; between the record he left of the bird and our experience of it, centuries later.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

Gretchen Rubin
“Keep it simple' wasn't always the right response. Many things that boosted my happiness also added complexity to my life. Having children. Learning to post videos to my website. Going to an out-of-town wedding. Applied too broadly, my impulse to 'Keep it simple' would impoverish me. 'Life is barren enough surely with all her trappings,' warned Samuel Johnson, 'let us therefore by cautious how we strip her.”
Gretchen Rubin, Happier at Home: Kiss More, Jump More, Abandon Self-Control, and My Other Experiments in Everyday Life
